About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on, team-focused Warehouse Supervisor to lead day-to-day warehouse operations at Formations. You’ll oversee shipping, receiving, inventory, and logistics, making sure our products are moving efficiently and our space stays safe and organized. You’ll also support, coach, and guide a hardworking warehouse team, helping them grow while keeping our distribution process running smoothly.

If you enjoy problem-solving, creating structure, and stepping in where needed to keep things moving, you’ll fit right in.

Reports to: Branch Manager

Direct Reports: Warehouse Associate and Delivery Drivers

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Leading and supporting your team - including Warehouse Associates, Drivers, and Shippers/Receivers - by setting clear expectations, providing coaching, and building a positive, high-performing work environment

  • Managing inbound and outbound logistics to ensure accurate, on - time shipments and efficient material flow across customers, vendors, and internal branches

  • Overseeing inventory accuracy, handling damaged goods, and coordinating inter-branch transfers to keep stock levels healthy and operations running smoothly

  • Collaborating with other departments like Supply Chain, Branch Operations, and fellow Warehouse Supervisors to share insights, solve problems, and align on best practices.

In an Average Week, You Might...

  • Kick off Monday by leading your toolbox meeting - reviewing safety priorities, assigning tasks, and checking on any weekend deliveries. Connect with your Branch Manager to align on material flow, freight issues, and what’s on deck for the week.
  • Walk the floor to check in with your team, jump in on a shipping challenge, and make sure everything is labeled, staged, and stocked properly. Coordinate closely with supply chain and delivery teams to keep schedules on track.
  • Review timecards, approve time off, and handle anything from a quick pep talk to a performance check-in.
  • Mid - week, you might collaborate with other Warehouse Supervisors to share what’s working or what needs tweaking and keep standards consistent across branches.
  • Wrap up Friday by reviewing outbound shipments, checking inventory reports, and making sure your warehouse is clean, safe, and ready for Monday. You’ll head into the weekend knowing your team is set up for success.

What You Bring:

  • Minimum 4 years of experience leading warehouse operations in a B2B distribution environment
  • Minimum 4 years of experience training others on forklift operation and safety protocols
  • Strong ability to read and interpret technical documents and shipping instructions
  • Comfortable multitasking in a busy warehouse environment with shifting priorities
